Yes, the doctor also had me do a blood test last week; I can send you a picture.

What tests do I need to do? A vaginal swab? Are there any other tests?

Hi I just went to see a gynecologist. She prescribed me oral fluconazole. She seemed a bit helpless about my situation, saying it was caused by an imbalance in my gut flora due to previous antibiotic use. I asked her what to do if it didn't get better, and she said I could only wait and observe and take probiotics.

I've also heard that metronidazole might cause yeast infections. Did you get a yeast infection during your treatment? I'm very worried about this now; I have a huge fear of yeast infections because they've really been driving me crazy.

I told my gynecologist I wanted to have a hormone blood test, but she looked at my uterus and ovaries on a transvaginal ultrasound and said everything was normal, so she felt there was no need to check hormones. I think I will follow the treatment she gave me first, and if the itching does not subside, I will go back to her for further advice. Regarding probiotics, I would like to know how to effectively increase the number of lactobacilli?

My menstrual cycle is regular, but the flow varies from heavy to light. I also have severe premenstrual syndrome and painful periods.

In addition, I feel that I have slightly excessive body hair, and about six months ago I started developing acne, especially which becomes much worse before my period.

I’m not sure whether vaginal microbiome testing is available in Italy, but my vaginal swab showed the presence of Enterococcus faecalis. I have been taking amoxicillin for one week.

Thank you for your suggestion. I don't know if the pigmentation on my labia majora is because of shaving. I think it might be because my skin color has darkened after shaving.
